i wasn't born in a barn, but i got there as fast as i could.

I’m still around, I promise! I’ve gotten to work on a big assignment at the office lately- super exciting stuff that will hopefully open some doors, but it also has meant some pretty late hours and weekends. Frankie has been getting some guest rides from some of the other ammies at the barn- I warn them all that he’s wIlD aNd CrAzY but they just laugh at me. I’ll be hopping on for my lesson tonight (if I can escape the office early enough) for my first ride in a week!

Once I have the chance to breath a bit and have some actual spare time to do laundry/grocery shop/do anything besides work and sleep I pinky promise I will have some fun stuff to share.

Until then, enjoy these self-indulgent pictures of Manfriend and myself at the Marine Corps Ball last weekend- my one escape from the office.

Wearing actual makeup that I did myself! Nothing classier than a bathroom selfie.I did this! Doing updos on the prom circuit is my backup career for when this analysis stuff falls through.Wasn’t even an open bar. Jipped.What’s better looking than a Marine in dress blues? Trick question. Nothing. Literally nothing.Except maybe multiple Marines in dress blues.My new favorite picture of me and Manfriend, I just wish it was less grainy.

And just you wait until the professional picture comes in. I won’t share too much, but the aesthetic is “Early 90s rap album.” You’re gonna love it.

I totally did all kinds of prom up-dos in high school and college, even one for my roommate when she attended a marine ball. Excellent fall-back career (side note: not joking at all, I wanted to go to beauty school after high school but my mom said I had to go to college first)
